Nintendo downloads for January 25, 2010

It’s Monday once again, and time for your weekly Nintendo downloads update for the Wii and DSi. There are seven new games available, but sadly there aren’t any anticipated titled debuting. There are mainly some puzzle and action games, but nothing that really stands out and says, “Buy me!”

The only really notable release is Ghoul Patrol, a LucasArts game that wasn’t originally designed with the intent of becoming the Zombies Ate My Neighbors sequel, but was altered after Zombies Ate My Neighbors became an unexpected hit.

Gamertell’s Nintendo Download picks for the week are Ghoul Patrol (Virtual Console) and Escapee Go! (DSiWare).
